I wasn't sure if this should go in the open water section or here but it is about swimming.I just read this-bigstory.ap.org/.../ap-investigation-rios-olympic-water-rife-sewage-virus and am worried for our open water swimmers. What a terrible predicament,work for years to go to the Olympics and then get really really sick. This is a black eye on the IOC,who like FINA, is more interested in politics and patronage than athletes.
But they (the IOC) are so pathetic it is funny. A(nother) perfect example is in this morning's newspaper. In a small sidebar article about the 2022 Winter Games being awarded to Beijing...the last sentense reads: "The Chinese capital, which hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics, came in to the vote as the strong favorite, despite its lack of natural snow."
So just great. They picked a city to host the winter games that doesn't get snow. You think there's no skullduggery going on there?
